” People have a hard time letting go of their suffering.
Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh
I go through some “times” like tonight
unconsciousness….
I find my self worried…
About the state of things
When you step back and look at our culture
and see things that we are doing
see them as they are right now,
and by that i mean,
There is an overwhelming amount of insane behaviors that fall under the category of unconscious temporal justifications which are being disguised and sold and done under the illusion that they are necessities. These ’problems’ arise from the past… compelling us to do unconscious actions now with the promise that it will insure a desirable future
Our eye for an eye culture lacks the fundamental basic ethic
that being
You cannot do that which is wrong now in order to bring about something you desire in the future…no matter how nobel the objective.
The unconscious execution of a “murder” like Sadam is a good case in point.
These wrong doings, like the war, are being imposed on and by our culture and are clear and present challenge to our fundamental freedom.
Our freedom,
Your and mine
Freedom is not found in the past
You will not find freedom by hoping for freedom in the future
Freedom does not come by waiting for it.
Words only point, like an icon, to the truth
and are not the truth itself
in just such a way
Freedom as a word is not the truth
just so the word war points to a truth
killing, the murder of our fellow man points with
even greater presence to that same truth
freedom is only lived
directly in the felt moment of immediate experience
In that eternal moment are you free to decide
Or you are not free at all
freedom is not…. a matter of belief
If the internal temporal model in your mind
is your internal reference point
~the Matrix has you~
Neo
You may be assured you have chosen the road
down which you will always believe
You must fight to be free.
Nothing can force you to give away your inherent state of present be~ing
and no one can take it from you
You alone are the ultimate authority
of freedom in your life.
The choice as always is yours
He said,
“The messengers and the prophets will come to you
and give you what belongs to you.
You, in turn, give them what you have, and say to yourselves,
‘When will they come and take what belongs to them?”

It would seem we are on the same page..thinking about what it means to be free.
kjhftvklkytgfdc … does that make sense …
An amazingly, realistic rendition of Now.

That picture “re-entry.jpg” … is it some kind of fractal image? It’s intreaguing me… what does it represent?
RYC: indeed we see many tourists glued behind their (video) cameras missing the whole experience. Noting could capture the awsomeness of the crisp sea air the spray on the wind the sound of the waves and the magnificence of the wild orcas so close… fumbling with a camera would only have detracted from the experience when I’m sure a quick google would yield better pictures than I could ever create with my archaic fuji finepix :giggle:
:heartbeat:Freedom:heartbeat: It is my most vauable possession. :yes::sunny:
the book i’m reading is about freedom and slaves. and i was wondering today about how freedom is in the mind or outside of it actually. said that wrong. you said it much better here obviously
